Capture the world the way the eye naturally sees it with the Hasselblad XCD 55mm f/2.5V. Offering a 43mm full-frame equivalent focal length, this lens delivers a perspective that feels true to life. Combined with a bright f/2.5 maximum aperture, it is an excellent choice for full- and half-length portraits, documentary photography, still life, and everyday images where authenticity is key.

Weighing just 372g, the XCD 55V is impressively lightweight without compromising image quality. Its compact optical design, lighter focusing unit, and optimised leaf shutter make it ideal for travel and handheld shooting. When used against strong light at smaller apertures, the leaf shutter blades create HasselbladÕs distinctive eight-point starburst for a refined creative effect.

Precision Optics Designed for 100MP

The optical construction comprises nine elements in eight groups, including two aspherical elements, one ED element, and one specially designed large-diameter aspherical element. This advanced design is built to meet the demanding resolution requirements of a 100-megapixel sensor, delivering outstanding light transmission, reduced chromatic dispersion, and accurate colour reproduction across the frame.

Fast, Accurate Autofocus

An improved focusing module combines a linear stepping motor with a smaller, lighter focusing group to reduce backlash and provide precise, repeatable focus control. Paired with the PDAF system in the X2D 100C, it delivers responsive autofocus that is well suited to both moving subjects and detailed still life scenes.

Compact Leaf Shutter, Complete Creative Control

The redesigned leaf shutter in the XCD 55V is more compact than previous versions while retaining the same precision and reliability. It operates quietly, making it ideal for discreet portrait and documentary work, and supports shutter speeds up to 1/2000 sec with full flash synchronisation at all speeds.
